We are asking you to agree to freeze part of your blood and oral fluid specimens at the CDC for future use. We may use these samples for research in the future. Nothing that could be linked to you will be kept with your blood or oral fluid specimens. We are not sure what studies might be done in the future. They might include standard tests as done at hospitals, tests for HIV or other viruses or on your immune system (ability to fight infection). We will not test for genetic problems or use the blood or oral fluid specimens for cloning or commercial purposes.
CT-2 Do you agree to storage of your specimens for future use?
Yes,
I give consent for my blood and oral fluid specimens to be stored at
CDC for the future use as outlined above.
No, I DO NOT give

future research.
If CT-1 or CT-2 = No, participant has declined participation in the study. Screen will say, “Please pause the survey here and talk to study staff.” Study staff will discuss the responses with the participant and address any questions or concerns. If participant does not want to participate, study staff will end the survey and withdraw participant from the study. If participant does want to participate and responded inaccurately for any reason, study staff will help the participant navigate back to these questions and answer them correctly, so the participant can proceed with the remainder of the survey.

Some questions will ask specifically about your sex partners' HIV status and what you did with partners who were HIV positive, HIV negative, and partners whose HIV status you did not know. We know you can't always be sure of a partner's HIV status. Please try to answer the questions based on what you knew and what your partners told you or did not tell you about their HIV status.
We know that it may be difficult to answer some of these questions if you or one or more of your sex partners do not identify as male or female, or if you or they are transgender. Except where we ask specifically about transgender partners, please include these sex partners in your responses to the questions about sex with either men or women, whichever you think is most appropriate.
